New Year New Me has officially started! I love the New Year. It remotivates me to achieve my goals and helps me get into the proper mindset. Got my house nice and clean last night so I could start this New Year feeling fresh and energized. The cleanliness and organization of my space really does affect my mood and energy levels so I’m glad I got this done.
I really want to cleanse and detox my body as well so last night I made a really big pot of lemon, lime, ginger, turmeric, cucumber, dandelion and burdock tea to brew in the fridge overnight. This should last me for the next several days before I have to make another batch. I want to prime my body to be in a perfect healthy state to improve function and thus, help with weight loss. My goal for this year is to lose 75lbs. I only made two resolutions this year because the weight loss is such a massive goal in itself and I don’t want to feel overwhelmed this year with focusing on too much. So my two goals are weight loss and to double my reading goal for the year.
I’ll be spending a lot of time on Pinterest for the next little bit getting inspiration and recipe ideas. I also want to start having one day of the week where I prep and have everything ready. A big part of why I failed my weight loss goals in the past is because I have lazy days where I don’t want to cook anything and those are the days I tend to backslide and cave to junk food. Another reason is because I eventually get bored of eating the same things every day, so I want to try and avoid both of those scenarios altogether. I am off every Sunday, so Sundays going forward are going to be my meal/healthy snack prep days for the week, and Friday/Saturdays will be my meal planning days.
Anyhow, I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year! It’s a great opportunity to reset, plan your strategies to achieve your goals, and get into that motivated mindset.
Last thing I want to end with for this New Years post, is that I know a lot of people don’t bother with New Year Resolutions because they feel like it sets them up for failure. I’ve heard it many times from people in the past, and a coworker of mine recently expressed this feeling to me as well which reminded me how common this is. To that, I say, it is better to have tried and failed than not tried at all. If you give up because you’ve failed in the past, you are dooming yourself to never achieve success. Failure is a part of success, that’s a fact of life. If you ever want to be successful with achieving goals, you need to keep trying. If your last strategy didn’t work for you, try a new strategy. Eventually, you will get there. But if you give up, you are ensuring that you absolutely will never be successful ever. So don’t give up!
Happy New Year everyone! 🙂 Make 2024 count.
